To drive ...
The vinyl comes right unpretentiös and simply in white robe (The White Album)), the front only with gold lettering, including a simple handwritten 'Lena' with Stern. The back is just 'cleaned' and includes only the right margin, the song title and the loan, the latter but with such a small font size which one better uses a magnifying glass.
Unfortunately, that's it already largely provided. There are no gatefold sleeve, no photos, no booklet or insert sheet with lyrics as formerly usual, also the (uncoated) comes Innersleve white and barebones.
As could have been more. So remains Lenas autograph the only real jewelery this issue.
The pressure is qualitatively good, but certainly not really audiophile. For this, the LP is already maxed out with 20 minutes per side. But I could not detect any sonic shortcomings, rather the reverse. Totaly sounds the LP on my rather mid-priced player even slightly spatial than the CD version and also the momentum seems to be better in the mix. But I'm neither moderate nor equipment to the show really founded by the acoustic capable.
But the hidden track at the end of the panel remains buyers of CD reserved.
Unfortunately, no download code is included, so you play to go still download or CD must to buy output. Unfortunately not very fanfreundlich.
In summary, I give the musical version 5 Star, but will have to deduct a star for the technical / creative implementation.
But that's not to Lenas account, but on that of the record company. As Lena in Ulm in a interview with guests reported was the vinyl edition probably a request from her to the record company but ultimately agreed only when she offered to sign 1000 pieces.
How fortunate for us vinyl friends that Lena could ultimately prevail, but a downer that the record company has no longer invested in the equipment.
